Grief will never be over. Relationship is over.
These days I'm realizing naively how little love XSI received.
Now that they killed SI, I've never seen so many posts on the list from
autodesk employee. Now they listen, let me laugh...
The other day I opened Match mover. A part from the fact it wasn't able
to track the sequence, it was also unable to save and re open it's own
.xsi and it's own .fbx (only solution functioning was VBscript). But,
C4D format was functioning...
The feeling that xsi was abandonned since a long time.
Yep,12 million lines of code that was not worth making evolve, but
worth abandon rather than sell.
I don't know if they realize how much trust they lost. And funnily, it's
not only from ex SI users.

Exactly my pov. The different packages are too much in flux atm to
make a decision right now.
If I was forced to switch, I'd go Houdini though.
Still sticking with Softimage for now. There seem to be some
changes coming in the next year or two in almost every package so
I'm gambling on waiting a while before choosing a direction.
Looking forward to the next step, it may have some things I'll
miss but I'm sure there will be advantages to balance it out. One
thing is for sure, wherever I end up will have to have a Redshift
plugin.

Well the same applies to me.
I now am getting into deep scripting in Softimage.
The big difference is that in Maya you script for necessitiy
and in Softimage for the fun of it.
The real saviours here are Redshift, Mootz, 3D Quakers, Paul, etc.
For me it was never grief, it was anger. And the anger has
passed.

There is no grief, here. The software is definitely NOT
over. Initially I thought "Oh no" (clean version),
but once I thought about it, as I was getting my new
license for Redshift 3D, I realized that whatever I need this
existing software to do, I can do with ICE. I am only just
starting to learn how to use ICE, so it a wonderful
new feature, to me.
I'm going to put any further efforts into learning more
about ICE, rather than spend my time trying to learn
another 3D package.
3rd Parties still seem to be developing for Softimage,
although I'm sure that will fade over time.
I turn 60 next month, so this is it for me. Even if I
retire at 80. :)
I will not swallow the Kool-aid.
I feel bad for the kid who just graduated art school with
a Softimage background.
That is a tough spot to be in. Fortunately young minds
learn faster.

Who said that the grief is over?
Every single day I think at least once... oh AD how I
hate you.
Also "your software is obsolete" from them ends up
with "I can still work 10 times faster in my obsolete
software". Eat my dust!

I know it's a sensible question, but now that the
grief is over, could some of you share how you're
dealing with the " your software its's obsolote"
phrase around your maya/C4D/3dsMax colleague?
I got my head under Modo blankets and hope the day
comes around quickly.
Yeh, just being honest here.
